Putin has his conditions for Ukraine before any peace can be reached. And it will not be easy for Zelenskyy and the Europeans to agree. Trump knows that a truce cannot come about if Zelenskyy or the Europeans are involved in the negotiations. Trump's only resort is to force Zelenskyy's hand with threats. Zelenskyy was just like a schoolboy during his meeting with Trump in the White House, with Trump lecturing him together with Vance, threatening him and telling him he has no cards to play. Oh, Trump already stressed earlier that Zelenskyy is 'overplaying his hands', a stance that only Trump himself can do at will. Only he can outplay anyone, including grabbing pussies.
Russia will not surrender any territory it now holds in Ukraine. No NATO troops will be allowed to be in Ukraine, which includes NATO peacekeepers. And of course, Ukraine cannot join NATO, which is the reason for starting the war.
NATO is already thinking of having peacekeepers in Ukraine, knowing that it is definitely not agreeable by Putin. Now, having NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine is undoubtedly a backdoor to station troops on the ground in Ukraine, which is possibly a trap for Putin to fall into.

With the new sponsor, will the Ukraine War now come to an end? I think it is just passing the baton by the USA to Europe to keep the status quo going.
For the war to end, will Putin give up territories he won over the last three years? No way he is going to agree with that. Will Zelenskyy just agree to forgo the territories lost? Maybe, under pressure by Trump, but he wants security guarantees. So, what does that mean and what kind of guarantee? More USA weapons maybe or USA peacekeepers? Would Putin agree? Oh, never mind, Trump can always give guarantees, which by the way are not worth the paper they are written on. Trump, as with all USA Presidents, will just tear the agreements up upon leaving the room. The USA honors nothing - not verbally or in black and white.
Trump is anxious to pivot to a war with China and wants to settle the Ukraine War fast so he could concentrate his resources on China. Moreover, by being seen as extra friendly with Putin with a peace deal in Ukraine, he hopes to pry Russia away from supporting China and BRICS, to weaken China. But since Zelenskyy has found a new sponsor, will the Ukraine War come to an end? What goes forward will be interesting.
